Of course, since I love crafts I couldn't resist visiting a local craft market here, so yesterday I dragged along a friend and my daughter round this lovely little lot of stalls. They were set up in St Aubins, which is a beautiful little part of the island.

First stop was a lovely stall Dangly Hearts which had some lovely fabric hearts, bunting, doorstops, cushions and many other pretty things. It was too busy to get a decent photo, but here is what I bought!

There were some fabulous smells coming from this stall - The Soap Mill - so we just had to buy some soaps didn't we?!
 |
| Shame you can't smell things over the internet! |
Finally, this was the stall that my daughter couldn't wait to get to - she literally dragged me across the square to get to it! We had a nice chat and bought a pencil case. My daughter is really pleased with the fact that hers will be different to anyone else's at school - a girl after my own heart!! Do have a look at
Nanette Regan - her products are really unique and great quality!

We've got a few more days in Jersey, so hopefully there will be some sunshine and days on the beach. Then it's back home, and back to work - but don't worry, I have brought my knitting/crochet with me so hopefully there will be something of my own making to share next time :)
Don't forget to visit 1st Unique Gifts to see what the other Handmade Mondayers have been up to :)
Happy Bank Holiday! x
What a lovely time - I feel very envious, as I'd love to go to Jersey.

ReplyDeleteI'm impressed by the fact you're still blogging while you're on holiday, now that's commitment!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are having a great time. The craft fair looks great and you made some great purchases.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great time :) and happy birthday to you x
ReplyDeleteIsn't it lovely to go to a fair and just look, enjoying what everyone else is doing. Why do I never find stones which would look good if they were painted... maybe that is why I was asked to give up art! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's always so exciting finding new craft markets on holiday - are you going to Guernsey too? I understand that is a great craft gallery there, and it is home of the wonderful imake podcast and blog (www.imake.gg)
